Who says all your Christmas decor has to be red and green? It seems more and more people are using non traditional Christmas colors in our seasonal decor. I just recently did this silk arrangement for a tablescape at my shop. I'm not ready to take it down and because I do have other, more traditional table settings and decor throughout the shop I decided to see if I could make this work for Christmas.

I dug through some of my Christmas decor and found some floral picks containing a rusty colored, clear beaded pomegranate, red berries, gold leaves and pine tree sprigs. I also found these picks of glittered gold strands with amber beads. Floral sprays and picks can be purchased for about $1 a piece, and after Christmas at least 1/2 that amount.

To this arrangement below, I simply added the picks and floral sprays (about 10 total for this large arrangement)

I added amber lights under the sheer, scrunched up valance and now my centerpiece looks like this.

I got these amber colored lights on clearance last year. I am always drawn to this color.

and here's a sneak peek at a traditional table I did at home with Masons Vista. It just appeared in a local publication today! Hooray! I will show it all tomorrow night along with some great information on Masons.

WoW! I was smitten by that lovely centerpiece! Its so elegant and so so..now I'm totally lost for words that would fit the wonderful view. Those table wares are unique i like them perfect for my poinsettia themed decorations. Love your blog!

Swoon, those are my colors, too. One of my wreaths is nothing but "fall" items. I don't know that I've ever seen amber lights - what a great find. Nancy, if you would like to link up this or even your giveaway to Fabric Fun Thursday, I'd love to have you. Hugs, Kim
